I just feel so ill. I don't want to be moany complaining person but I ache all over.

I'm so fed up of uni stuff. Neither of the two essays are getting written and I hnestly don't know where to begin with them. I'm so fed up with it all. I hate the work at uni, and I know I'm on the wrong degree but leaving would mean getting married later rather than sooner.

It's going to be later rather than sooner anyway now so I suppose it won't matter so much. If i drop out after the first year i can go straight into hairdressing training and work to put more money aside for the wedding etc..

Oh I don't know - all I do know is I can't do these essays. Anyone know anything about Cultural memory and the First world war? Or if gender was an issue in early Jewish Magic?

Though I don't think it merits the exclamation. Aside from the warmest welcome I've ever recieved from my family, where they all rushed in and piled on top of me, things are as if I never left. Mum has yelled at me for doing things in my time not hers, like usual. My room is a mess as usual. Work is going undone as usual. In fact after this post I am going back to the books and hopefully something will inspire me this time!

Since I returned to the land of nowhere, I have decorated our tree, decorated Robs, been to our church's Christmas party and did two party pieces. I sang White Christmas unaccompanied *gasp* and sang Everything You've Done whilst Rob played guitar. Both went rather well.

It's lovely being around Rob though. I've seen him 5 days out of 5 so far. We've even done a little more wedding planning. So far we have a list of 50 people who we'd definately like to have as guests, and if fianances won't stretch that far, these would be the people who would be there. If there's some extra cash, we have another 50 people who we'd love to have, and then probably another 50 on top of that because well we're popular folk!

We were doing a rough budget last night as well and so far the estimate is £4000 which is ridiculously small compared to the national average of £14000. Hopefully It won't grow much more than that, but as always it will be the catering for the reception that will bring up the cost the most. We're going to have a buffet, and as that is generally done per head, we need to work out exactly how many heads will be attending! We are also going to get married later int he day thus avoiding the needto feed our guests twice, effectively having just an evening reception. That saves a whole bunch of cash that's for sure.

This whole wedding planning business does rather freak me out though. I'm so scared that the families are going to argues about it or the mums try and take over. For all Rob's posturing, well if necessary we'll do it without them bluster, I really don't want to fall out with either family at all. Hopefully though, if we lay out our ground rules at the start all will be well.

Part of me quite likes the idea of romantically eloping to Gretna Green where you can get a whole wedding package for £500 ! Would save a huge amount of hassle and money that's for sure, and then I could spend more on the house. We could even have a huge party on our first anniversary etc... so our friends and family didn't feel left out.

I've worked and played hard this term. I've cried alot, I'm missed Rob more than I've thought possible, and I've made some friends who will last this year, and others that will last lifetimes.

Here are some pics.

This is the cool Cake Amy made me whilst I worked on my essay and missed the last half of our flat's Secret Santa Party. I did however have my Corona and Lime to keep me company.

You know I don't normally dress like this. But it was the last Hey Ewe night of term and it was the prescribed dress code. You can't see but I had patterned tights and red and black strpiy stirrup leg warmers over my round toe high heels. That's the new red/pink hair too. I felt like a red head Gwen Stefani!

These are the little mitts I whipped up out of the lovely Jaeger Merino. I gifted them to Chris as a xmas/birthday gift. Fitting as he bought me the yarn.

Louise and Chris B or Chrispy standing, Chris Funky Pants kneeling.I cut Louise's hair into the cool choppy bob you see with the emo fringe, gelled Chrispy's in to the perfect public school side parting, and provided both hat and a tie quickly fashioned from safety pins and a silk scarf for Chris Funky. I love mothering people I really do!
